Using SplitEQ for Dialog and Podcast Editing

I just watched this brand new video demonstrating how SplitEQ can clean up and enhance podcast audio. (I own this plugin and I really like it.)

SplitEQ (an 8-Band Parametric EQ) from Eventide is a great-sounding EQ but it’s unique superpower is that it also allows you to separately adjust transient information and tonal information.

The SplitEQ analyzes incoming audio and separates it into two separate streams: Transient (noise, pops, mic plosives, vocal sibilance, attacks), and Tonal (sustained notes, harmonics, tone, ambiance).

For podcast recordings of individual voices, enhancing some transients can add clarity and intelligibility, and reducing some tonal information can remove room tone and muddiness.

Features:

• World-class 8-band parametric EQ with pristine musical filters
• EQ Transient and Tonal parts of a sound separately using Eventide’s patented Structural Split™ technology
• Control Transient and Tonal Output levels
• Enhance the stereo-field with continuous Transient and Tonal panning controls (L/R and Mid/Side modes)
• Control the underlying Split technology for fine tuning and experimentation
• Globally scale the EQ curves together or independently
• Peak, Notch, Bandpass, High Shelf, Low Shelf, Tilt Shelf, High Pass, and Low Pass filter types with slopes from 6 to 96 dB/octave
• Innovative real-time spectrum analyzer displays the Transient and Tonal streams independently
• Comprehensive Presets Library includes 150+ presets
• A/B buttons allow quick auditioning of two presets or settings plus Undo/ Redo functionality
• Resizable GUI with zoom options
• Three Color Schemes: Original, Dark and Colorblind Accessible

Eventide offers you a 30-day demo to try it before buying it 😉
